The Lotus will do what now?

What's the trooper between the Royal Guard and the DF Darktrooper? The one just above the Rebel Mon Calamari or Rakata

I don't get why everyone's so obsessed with 4k video when the originals work well enough. But fan devotion is fan devotion, I suppose. I actually found the original ending of RotJ on youtube (maybe it's from the de-specialized edition?), and people there are fighting over which ending is better. Personally, I'm for the original ending, save for the music - the music in the '97(?) re-edition was far better. Sure, Wub-nub (or whatever) fits the scene, but it's a terrible choice for ending an iconic trilogy.

Alora (obviously), any Reborn, any Jedi, and now that I thought of it, Rosh. Maybe Luke as well, but I'm not sure.

Don't strike him down in anger, that will lead to the dark side! Strike him down with love instead!

Didn't he reject the offer back with Empire or RotJ?

Can you be more specific? Other than the man-eating teddy bears, i can't think of many silly things in the OT. That is, if you ignore the physics and other such things.As to my dislike of the prequels, i haven't heard of Plinkett, so i'm not exactly on the bandwagon. Thing is, the prequels are: 1) too polished design wise, 2) too cgi, 3) too much talk about things nobody really cares about - we watch sci-fi and fantasy to escape all the economics, law, and politics of the real world. TPM was arguably the weakest PT movie, but it had its moments: it was a new chapter in SW film, the cgi were bearable, and there were practical effects too. The whole premise was boring, but at least it was diluted by action, and new content. TCW was - in my own opinion - the worst. The movie is supposed to be about the Clone Wars, but we see the clones for only some 5-15 minutes total, and the clone Wars only start at the end of the movie and get some 5 minutes of screentime. The rest is a really badly written love pre-story for Anakin and Padme and Obi-Wan's investigation that's equally as uninteresting. The cgi were cartoony and the actors sometimes couldn't act in their environment because of it. Only really good thing about it, save for the Battle of Geonosis and the duel with Dooku was the part when Anakin was saving his mother. RotS was the best of the three, but still had its weaknesses and inconsistencies. And i don't even wanna touch the sequel trilogy, especially since it's not a trilogy just yet.

Starkiller engages the Emperor and Starkiller blocks the Emperor's force lightning are the same picture

Well, note that i said that there was good outside of the OT, just that it looked somewhat out of place.And to be fair, while i didn't much like Anakin, i have no problem with Hayden. But i get where you're coming from.

Yeah, sorry, i'm writing from a tablet and can't yet figure out the formatting, haven't been using tablets very long, you see. Still, i tried separating the main ideas.

By popular request - "tl, dr" 1) On second thought, the movie is bad. It's lazily written. 2) Everything Han is known for is stuffed into a single incident, and Han, despite going from zero to hero in roughly a week/ month, is still the same wannabe that he started out as and not the the Han from the OT. 3) Lando, despite being the same smartass smoothtalker is actually a narcissistic and useless fetishist, despite capes not being a fetish, nor does the film deliver his promised pansexuality. 4) The film doesn't deliver a plausable enough interaction/ chemiatry between Han and Lando to make them such good friends in Empire and RotJ. 5) Movie pokes fun at SJWs and especially modern feminists by introducing a sassy female droid who, like them, is annoying, arrogant, and almost entirely useless, who stirs up trouble when it's entirely uncalled for, and otherwise thinks itself more important and useful than it is. By contrast, the movie also has real women who are strong, motivated, and do what is needed, with or without the "priveledged males" telling them to.

The problem with Lucas is that despite being the creator of the SW universe (as with most creators in fact), his ideas are pretty limited overall. He made the original Star Wars as pretty much a one-shot thing, but once he saw how it became popular, he started thinking up more and more stuff, eventually losing the string, and turning it into something entirely different. This is mainly why all the post-OT (if not post Empire) stuff created by him gets more and more silly, absurd, or is good but just too different. Also, why he didn't participate in the making of the 80% of the old EU. Everyone says Disney are ruining the franchise, but everyone is overlooking the fact that Disney actually are working closely with Lucas, so there's nothing they're bringing to the table that was not his idea initially, save maybe for the lame ass SJW bullshit.

That'll teach you to dab! Still, polite people on servers are nothing new, problem is they are less common than lamers, FAR less common

what map is that?

Pardon if I'm in the dark asking this, but why let bots download it in the first place at all? Why not ban bots entirely, and only let real users download?

Actually has that 70's/ 80's feel, not just Star Wars, but of the whole 70-80's sci-fi era!

What are you's talking about? We have plenty of Hayden Christensens, Natalie Portmans (Portmen?), Ewan McGregors, Carrie Fishers, Mark Hammils, Alec Guinnesses, Harrison Fords, Liam Neesons, Christopher Lees, et al.!

So which is it then: the Whills or the Midi-chlorians? Make up your mind, George!! Or was it going to be a 'Whills vs Midi-chlorians' kind o'thing?

I don't even know this show, frankly

let's see: modability, the combat system, the character creation ability, the graphics that still look well despite the game's age... and thanks to mods - rgb sabers

So I watched @@big moist 's videos of Jedi Parkour and it got me wondering: the game does have all the right animations and options to make parkour possible. So, has anyone ever made a Parkour mod for JKO or JKA? If not, how about making one? It should be a fun little mod that, maybe, could even be turned into a bigger mod. All that's really needed is to tweak the animations and maybe add some scripts. A person with the right knowledge could do it no-prob. Yeah, I miss those non-SW mods like Doctor Who and Stargate total conversions, even those non-vanilla mods and modes like Swoop Racing, Hydroball, etc.

Note: Ok, I know that many people dislike and even hate TFU, but in this topic, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT. Stay on subject, will you's? Ok, so the game starts with Vader going to Kashyyyk to take out Kento Marek - a Jedi survivor of Order 66. He makes his way to Kento's hut, fights, and kills him. He's surprised to find out that Kento has a little son, but instead of killing the boy, he takes him away, and trains him as his secret apprentice. Here, we're led to believe that it may have been due to Vader's paternal feelings (after all, he knew he was supposed to become a father back before he turned to the Dark Side, and then the Emperor told him that both Padme and their unborn child were dead; he didn't know that his child(ren) survived). Vader doesn't want the Emperor finding out about the boy, so he kills his troops on Kashyyyk right before they could kill him (Galen). Later, we learn that he took the boy because he saw the great potential, and thus hatched up a(nother) way to kill the Emperor, his master - Vader being THE Sith apprentice, it was his ultimate goal, as per Sith teachings, after all - but we're again led to believe that paternal feelings played some part, because they were supposed to kill the Emperor together, not to mention that despite the brutal traning methods, he never otherwise mistreated Galen. So, time went on, young Galen grew up, and grew in power, and Vader finally sends him on missions to find and kill other surviving Jedi, but also, to train him against Force-wielding opponents. He orders Galen to kill any Imperials he might run into during his missions so as to avoid tipping off the Emperor of their plan. Three missions later, the Emperor's spies manage to somehow track Galen to Vader's flagship (despite Galen killing all witnesses during his missions, having a fast ship with a ton of cloaking devices, and an ace pilot, to boot - I know there are different kids of spy tactics, and that the Emperor doesn't really fully trust Vader, but it's still kinda suspicious, isn't it?), and the Lord of his Mightiness himself shows up to confront Vader over the matter. He orders Vader to kill Galen lest he wanted to die alongside the boy for betrayal, and Vader complies, throwing Galen against walls, and finally, out the window and into space, to his effective death. Later we're shown that Galen's body is recovered and that he's brought back to life (are we sure he wasn't cloned all the way back then, and that the whole cloning subplot in TFU2 wasn't just a hoax?). Vader informs Galen that it was a diversion to calm the Emperor (and get his mind off the intended punishment), orders him to get together a Rebellion, and lets him loose, also saying that they'll have to reduce contacts to a minimum so as to avoid suspicion from the would-be rebels and the Emperor himself, as Vader'll be watched closely. So, Galen goes around the Galaxy, getting the potential rebels together and attacking Imperial targets. Finally, the Rebel Alliance meets up to be officially formed, but it turns out to be a trap by Vader (and the Emperor), who planned on capturing the major Imperial dissidents red-handed all along. He reveals that he lied to Galen from the very beginning (which beginning exactly?), and that he does plan to take out the Emperor, just not with him (what a blow for poor Galen, he immidiatelly lost both his master and his father-figure). The rebels are taken away, whereas Galen falls off a cliff and is (at least supposedly) assumed dead by Vader. Finally, Galen goes to save the rebels, fights and defeats Vader, then the Emperor, and sacrifices himself (Light Side, canon ending) to let the rebels escape. In the end, the Emperor scolds Vader for losing control of the situation, and creating the Rebel Alliance that they'll now have to deal with. So what I want to know is, if it was Vader's plan from the beginning - to train Galen and use him to help the Empire and maybe kill the Emperor - when was the Emperor let in on the plan? Did he initially plan to take out the Emperor with Galen's help, but at some point, got a change of heart? Why? If it was Vader's plan, and the boy indeed came as a surprise (but a welcome one - at least, initially), when, and more importantly - why did he decide to inform the Emperor of this plan, and betray Galen - when he could have indeed used him to, at the very least, cripple the Emperor before killing him, and thus, to become the Dark Lord of the Sith? Alternatively, if it was the Emperor's plan to begin with, did he know about Kento's son, that Vader would spare out of paternal feelings, and would train as an agent to despose of dissidents, using the Sith teachings as a reason to motivate the boy until finally betraying him, and arresting the would-be rebels? Discuss.
